Hello

My name is Kira - I am a working artist and designer based in Philadelphia, PA. My studio practice embraces physical construction of paper models, photography, and word drawing as well as painting and collage. Spaces of home, memory and the possibility of disorientation within the familiar are at the root of my work.

Little Berlin

A final project for an Illustrator course I took, these drawings show a brief survey of some of Philly's contemporary galleries.

Little Berlin is an artist-run collective and gallery space in the Kensington neighborhood. The building was originally a textile mill, and the open / industrial feel of the place remains. It is run by about 10 people, and the members rotate through the years. Unlike a traditional artist cooperative, they do not exhibit their own work generally, but rather facilitate the work of other emerging artists in the area.
